Chapter 56: Rendezvous

As the group approached the village, Parks gestured and quietly approached the village on both sides. Then around the village, I saw soldiers on guard - American paratroopers.

"Password!" That's when a soldier spotted them. Parks had already stepped forward, and then raised his rifle in one hand to the sky, and at this time the group also gathered from both sides.

"Lightning!" Luz shouted loudly first.

"Thunder!" The soldier walked over and waved at Parks.

"I know you!" At this time, Lutz stepped forward, glanced at the soldier, and exclaimed as if he saw an acquaintance, "Are you the D Company Bob of the 2nd Battalion?" Neelander, forgot? We've been to London together and talked to each other on the way? ”

Nilander looked at Luz, nodded and smiled: "It turned out to be you, I remembered, you are Ruz of E-Company, George?" Lutz! "He also looked very happy.

"This is our Sergeant Major, Sergeant Parks." Lutz pointed at Parks, "You'll see, he's a hard-blooded guy, especially when it comes to dealing with Germans. ”

"Hello Private Niland." Parks stepped forward and shook his hand, "What kind of team are there in the village now?" Are there any brothers of E-Company? Or any officer of Company E. ”

Nilander couldn't help but shake his head and said, "I don't know, you'd better go in and see for yourself." The highest commander there is Lieutenant Colonel Stryer, who may be assigned to you. ”

Parks nodded, then led the group towards the village. There were still quite a few sentries at the entrance of the village, and Parks explained their identities to them, and then determined again that it was mainly the men of the second battalion, and that the highest commander should be Lieutenant Colonel Stryer. As soon as they entered the village, they saw the people of E Company.

"Hey, Luz!" A guy across the street was waving at them, shouting loudly. A few people followed the sound, and it turned out that the guy was Gunnery, and he was sitting with him, and sitting on the roadside haystack were Lip, Malachi, Compton, Liegot, Lenny, Push, Toy, and White.

"Oh, brothers of E-Company, I finally see you!" Karber walked up quickly and hugged White, who was standing nearby, "Know how much I missed you guys the night before!" ”

White and Caber just touched their shoulders, and then they walked over to Parkes, smiling all over their faces, and said loudly, "Parks, if you don't show up, I'm going to the Germans' army to issue a missing person notice." Then he hugged Parks tightly and said, "This night is really exciting. ”

"Me too, White, there's nothing better than seeing that you're now able-bodied and able to speak!" Parks chuckled. Then there was a whistling around.

The brothers quickly blended together, and after such a night, everyone had a great desire to have their own brothers by their side, to be able to fight with them, so that they would not seem lonely in their hearts.

"Hey, you know what?" Pupai suddenly lowered his voice, "We just talked about Lieutenant Spierre of Company D. ”

"Pupai—" Malaki glanced at Pupai, his voice lengthened, his brow furrowed.

Pupai glanced at Marachi with a smile and said, "What does it matter, they are all brothers in their own company, and there are no people from D company here." Don't worry, no one is stupid enough to tell him. ”

Malachi shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"What's the matter?" Luz looked eagerly at Pupai.

Pupai looked very mysterious at this time, and beckoned to the few people who had just arrived: "Come here, guys, let me tell you, this is a big deal. You can't publicize it publicly. ”

Except for Parks, everyone else seemed interested and leaned over. Parks knew from Marachi's expression that Puppy was talking about Lieutenant Spear, and he wasn't interested at all, and he already knew what was going on.

Sure enough, after only a few words, I heard Kaber exclaim with an incredible face: "It's so cool!" ”

After the group dispersed, Gu Sishen mysteriously leaned over to Parks, and said in a low voice: "I didn't expect that Spiel would really dare to make a move, and a dozen captives would ...... Killed! As he spoke, he learned the gesture of holding a gun with one hand and swept half a circle.

"You saw it with your own eyes?" Parks couldn't help but smile.

"I just heard what Pupai said!" Guth shook his head and smiled, "I don't believe it, though. ”

Parks shook his head: "I don't listen, I don't believe it, forget it." ”

He was about to sit on the haystack when he heard White excitedly shouting at him, "Parks, I heard you captured a luger?" Can you show me? Then Parks pulled a Luger pistol out of his leg pocket and handed it over.

Immediately, a group of people surrounded them. A pistol began to pass and play with the brothers.

"That's a good gun!" Before White could play with it, he was taken by Malachi, "Parkes, this is what I admire about you, I didn't expect you to have fought three battles with the Germans." And killed a captain. ”

Parks looked at Christenson, and it turned out that this guy was giving Compton, Gurnere, and the others the course of tonight's fight, of course, mainly around the Ruger pistol. In fact, he didn't know that Goneri and others had also exchanged fire with the Germans.

"I'll get a handful too!" Malachi raised his pistol, held it flat, and aimed in the direction ahead. Then some reluctantly returned Ruger to Parks.

Parks took it, turned his head to Malachi and asked, "Even all the brothers are here?" ”

"And Lieutenant Winters." Malaki looked inside the opinion room, "He's inside, and Lieutenant Colonel Strell is summoning him." The manpower that the second battalion can gather is here, about 100 people. Not even one-sixth of our usual size. The highest-ranking soldier is Striele, who is now the commander. ”

"Where's E-Link?" Parks was anxious to know if he was on the same track.

"Lieutenant Meehan didn't show up, and neither the deputy company commander nor the sergeant major Evans saw it. Now the highest-ranking soldier here is Winters, who is the supreme commander of Company E. The corners of Malachi's mouth crooked, "But I like Winters and want to fight with him." ”

"Me too!" Parks sighed, I don't know what mood it was, history was moving according to its original trajectory, and he hadn't changed anything. Lieutenant Meehan is actually a good leader, but Winters is in front of him, and many people have a very good impression of him.

At this time, Winters came out of the house. Then he saw Parks, and couldn't help but smile on his face, and walked over a few steps, and stretched out his hand to Parks, who was already walking towards him, and the two of them held it.

"Nice to meet you, Parks!" Winters was telling the truth, he had always had a very good impression of Parks, and he took it very seriously.

"Me too, Lieutenant!" Parks also smiled and nodded, and then pointed to Guth and Christen, and said, "I came here with them, and we met along the way, but ...... There's no way I can gather more brothers on the way. ”

"It's not your problem, we're all lost at night." Winters patted Parks on the shoulder, then said, "Parks, we've got a mission to get the brothers together. ”

Parks nodded, then walked over to the brothers who were talking nonsense there, "Guys, we have work to do. The lieutenant has a mission assigned to us, so let's all go over! Parks beckoned and gathered the brothers together. Now that Winters is the highest commander of Company E, he is also the highest sergeant major of Company E. At least until Evans returns. However, the possible return of Company Commander Meehan and Sergeant Major Evans is very small.

Winters looked at the brothers of E Company who were around him, and silently counted them, there were 17 people in total.

"Here is the artillery position of the Germans, 88mm guns, they are well concealed, there are four of them, and now they are firing at the beaches of Utah, killing our fellow brothers. About a few hundred meters away, separated by a few fences and clearings, the place is called Brecout, a typical French estate. Winters methodically conveyed orders to his brothers.

The brothers around all nodded their heads.

"Lieutenant Colonel Strell wants us to destroy him!" Winters tapped the place with his fingers, then used a pencil to summarize a brief diagram on a piece of paper, "The Germans are hiding in the trench leading to the battery, we are going to set up a fire support point, and then the two groups are moving quickly under the cover of fire. ”

"Lieutenant, I have a question!" Goneri raised his hand, "How many Germans are we going to face?" ”

"I don't know!" Winters glanced at him.

"Don't know? That's great! Goneri's brow furrowed, looking helpless.

"Lip, you prepare some explosives, we're going to blow up those cannons." Winters tucked the gun under his armpit, "Does anyone have any problems?" We can also prepare before departure. ”

Winters looked at the brothers, then nodded, "Okay, let's sort out the ammunition and don't take anything else with us." When he saw that everyone was ready, he said, "Let's go!" And he took the lead.
